The statements of Pepe Guardiola, manager of Manchester City
Double date for the Manchester City against the Leipzigvalid for the round of 16 of Champions League. Tomorrow, February 22, the English will face the red and white in the first leg, scheduled for 9 pm. The citizens are going through a difficult moment linked to the corporate events that see the club accused of financial crimes. In Premier League instead the team of Guardiola has strung together a series of positive results that have brought it to -2 fromArsenal leaders. The Spanish coach spoke at the press conference on the eve of the match against the Germans. Here are his statements:
“It’s a fantastic tournament and one that I love. I don’t know how far we’ll go, but we’re here. Qualifying and getting through the groups is already difficult, so the dream is to do well tomorrow and go to the quarterfinals. If my career ends tomorrow I’d be more than blessed for what I’ve done in Barcelona, Bayern Munich and here, to do what I’ve done in Europe in such a short time.. In the end, destiny is already written. I had a feeling that what we have been doing for many years, no matter what, is bound to fail. Whatever I do in the future I personally will fail. Nothing will be enough. That’s why I enjoy it, after the press conference I will eat well, I will watch Real Madrid-Liverpool and Napoli, which is always a pleasure, and then I will get ready for the match. I changed my mentality at Manchester City, I predicted that everything is a disaster if you don’t win trophies, this happens if everyone puts pressure on themselves, but I don’t want to do it. I’m lucky to be here and I never thought that when I arrived we would have to win everything or that every year we would have to win 3, 4 Champions Leagues. Unless you’re Real Madrid, you can’t do it. We have to adapt to try to do what we have done. In the last two seasons we’ve been very close, we’ve had really good matches, now let’s try to do it again.”
